Before beginning their series with the Red Sox on Monday, the San Francisco Giants took a moment to honor the victims of the Boston Marathon tragedy.

Bay Area natives Aaron Hern and Amanda North, who were both injured in the bombing, threw out the ceremonial first pitch, and both teams lined up along the baselines while a video tribute to those affected played on the Jumbotron.

In a classy gesture, the Giants also wore the same “B Strong” patches for the game that the Red Sox have been wearing on their home uniforms this season, and the team announced that it will donate a portion of all ticket proceeds to The One Fund.

Check out the patches and images from the pregame ceremony in the photos below.

The Giants showed they are the class act that we have seen in their play in recent years. Thank you for not forgetting what Boston and the rest of this country felt that horrible day in April....truly what being a good sport is all about....relating to circumstances not always on the playing field! Thank you SF Giants. Your kindness will not be forgotten!
